Writing reports on PHP / SQL Server

What is a good method for writing reports using PHP and SQL Server? Is there a third party vendor that supports SQL Server?

SQL Server ships with Reporting Services out of the box as of version 2005. If you are using SQL Server 2000, Reporting Services 2000 is available as a free download. Reporting Services is web-based, so you can disable the URL from anywhere. You can also embed hyperlinks into your application in reports.



Most, if not all third-party reporting tools support SQL Server. Anything related to an ODBC object can be done to query for it. If you need to run a web server that supports reporting for something other than windows, you can look at one of the open source systems like Pentaho , BIRT, or Jasper Reports .

You will need to use SVN to get the code, but it works very well and can work with just about any data source.
